When one types (say) ".run,aprocedure" at the IDL command prompt, IDL searches
the current directory, then the directories in the !PATH system variable, for
a file with the name aprocedure.pro (under DOS, aprocedu.pro) and compiles it.
My question, is there a function that will return the name (complete with
directory specification) of that file? Or will I have to write one?
I know that in the IDL Astronomy Library there is a procedure called GETPRO
that claims to locate the .pro file as above and copy it to the current
directory. So it looks like that could be modified to do what I want. But it
doesn't seem to handle the DOS 8-character limitation.
